Annual Mallow
A branching bush with large rose-red mallow flowers. Relatively slug resistant. Popular as a free flowering border plant and long lasting cut flower for the vase. Optimum cutting time when 1-2 flowers on each stem have opened. Buds that are already coloured will open in the vase. Ideal for cut flower growers.

Before a root can be lifted for sale, the perennial grows in her fields for around 6-7 years. Since 1993, the traditional farm has been cultivating a wide variety of over 200 different types of vegetables, herbs and flowers under Demeter guidelines for seed production.
